Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Grace Abounding: Being a Funeral Sermon Delivered at the Methodist E. Church in Oxford, Ga;, June 19, 1842, on Occasion of the Death of Mrs. Ann Amelia Andrew, Wife of Rev. J. O. Andrew "Now, Unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above All that We ask or think, according to the power that we ask in us, unto him be glory in the Church, By Christ Jesus, Throughout All Ages, World Without End. Amen. - Ephesians iii, 20, 21. You will not deem it strange or impertinent brethren, that on an occasion so mournful as the present, we have chosen a doxology for the text. Holy Job would still be praising God when every thing was gone; and St. Paul gloried mainly in his infirmities. Such men must needs have dwelt deeply in the secret of God´s unfathomable love. And we, in our measure, even we, "have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercy." It is, indeed, natural for grief to clothe itself in sackcloth, and commune with sadness, but it is by no means gracious; for why should our heavenly Father have hung the chambers of our afflictions with the pictures of his grace, and put a glory on the grave, if we are only to be sad in our sorrow, and disconsolate when we are bereaved? "For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person; yet doth he devise means that his banished be not expelled from him." It is the glory of our holy religion to bestow a special blessing upon "them that weep." Our chief good, in every possible condition, it enhances its value with in calculable interest in times of trouble; increasing power to the faint, and multiplying resources to the exhausted soul. "For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ," "who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." And yet sorrow is not annihilated; nor is nature destroyed. There still is pain, and there still should be sympathy. And so when Lazarus was dead, and Jesus saw Mary weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, was troubled and wept. "Jesus wept."
